78min

Warriors seeing this out in style. Green traps the Dragons in-goal again.

77min

HE COULD SEE THE LIGHT! It was a wonderful pass from Dufty to find Ravalawa in space, the winger looks certain to score but it is ripped away.

75min

OH NO! There is the error. Jack Murchie has cost them the perfect game. A simple error.

73min

Unsurprisingly it came to naught. Lomax was caught on last. Dragons have looked bereft of ideas today.

BREAKING: Dragons have a repeat set. Hunt gives it to Dufty to move, the fullback toes it ahead and a rampaging Lomax forces Ken Maumalo to boot it dead.

67min

PENALTY WARRIORS! Ravalawa inside the ten off the Dragons kick.

65min

Just an update for you. Warriors are 39 from 39 in completed sets. That is probably the most exciting thing left in this contest.

Left hand touchline attempt for Nikorima. Nails it.

21min

Both sides are starting to trade sets here. There is the circuit breaker with a PENALTY to the Warriors for offside.

13min

Warriors continue to have the momentum after ANOTHER restart. They go close with the power game but the final tackle option to Peta Hiku was gobbled up.

11min

PENALTY WARRIORS! Dragons poke their nose through the line with Hunt but the attack comes to naught. Warriors quick work caught the Dragons offside.

10min

Now the Dragons have their first set restart of the renewed season. It will help them gain some metres from their own end. Warriors have been full of energy thus far.

It has been a sedate start between the two sides. Dragons with the first penalty due to a high tackle on Dufty but the set ends meekly.

Warriors kick-off and here we go!

Here come the teams! Dragons are first out wearing their red away jersey ready to get their season kickstarted while the Warriors in their traditional jersey have a final talk and bound onto on Central Coast Stadium! Let's get ready for some football.

Happy Saturday! Welcome to the weekend? I think we still have those. First up we head to the picturesque Central Coast Stadium for the Warriors to host the Dragons. Both sides are 0-2 to start the season but today one of them will get on the board.
